I sub metered the water and was able to increase rents by 200$ per month.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Always get a sewer inspection. I ended up having to replace the main sewer line due to the house not having a readily accessible sewer clean out to the street. Tenants flushed baby wipes that got caught in in roots and caused a back up in the house.
